Nothing can be worse than the silvikrin adverts?

If I was a girl, I would hate just about everything that was targeted towards me on TV frown

nobody mentioned the Go Compare Advert I think it is?

Transitioned from the fat Opera singer to some kind of town in Wales called the Land of Money Saving or something

Think the ad execs behind that have just given up - or genuinely want to lose the account and are trying to let their client know they do not want their business

More radio annoyance.

Hive.

The ads with the jolly little song are annoying and mentioned here before I believe.

But now on Absolute radio,they have the DJ reading an ad seems to be just before the news on the hour.

The new Renault Zoe ad.

Not because the car is st, not because the theme seems to be if you buy this car you can ignore all the troubles in the world but because it's yet another ad where the soundtrack is an eighties hit cover version slowed down and sung in a "ickle-wickle" breathless way by a female singer pretending to be twelve.

Every fking advert now, pisses me off. frown

I work for a company with ethics, last year we refused to loan £20 bazillion to companies who ethics we didnt agree with.
But, we do give st loads of money free to the Labour Party.

The Coop Bank, because we liked Blair bombing the middle east.

I think that ALL large retail companies should be more open on who they support financially.

dangerous strategy IMHO as it would be VERY hard to ensure that all the people you do business with (and importantly they people they do business with, and so on) are all squeaky. It only takes one gaffe in a broad matrix of dependencies that you have no direct control over, and you're fked.

And don't forget that in 2013 our Non-Executive Chairman was discovered to know less than nothing about banking but an awful lot about drugs and bumming rent boys & was such a cowardly st of a man that rather than admit his problems, he tried to blame these 'failings' on 'pressure from the media' due to him being st at his job. But there was no pressure from the media when he got fired from his last job as a Labour councillor for downloading gay porn onto his laptop.

His previous job before that was running the child services department in Rochdale, about which he is currently being investigated into his links with a possible cover up involving the child abuse carried out by Cyril Smith.

Yep. That all sounds totally ethical to me.

I detest that advert.

They have slightly edited it to remove a verse and make the advert shorter. The only problem is is that they have left in the one verse that I absolutely loathe:

"Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu..."

Also, why are they advertising someone that every iTunes user already has (whether they want it or not)?

IT crowd's Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade voicing (as Moss and Roy) the health app iPhone advert. Surely people aren't as sad as in real life as they act out in the advert.

The Zoe ad. Jesus that cover is a new low in the world of breathy cover versions.

This is now on my list of people to line up against the wall, anyone in anyway involved in a breathy cover version.
